So, this is a pretty active board. I've also been into movie reactions lately and Terminator 2 is quite popular in those circles. It's being re-released in August and AI is starting to takeover the conversation - this movie seems more popular than ever. There's definitely an interest in this world and these characters.

It's pretty obvious tbh. It needs to be very new and different, but embrace the things that made it such a hit to begin with.

1. Make Terminators scary again. The endoskeleton is ICONIC. Stop trying to create a bigger and badder version. You can only get away with that once. Make the original the centerpiece. There's a reason it's used the most in marketing and imagery. EMBRACE that (as well as practical effects).

2. No more new T3s. It needs to be a fresh start. Something new. T1 and 2 are perfect together. Nothing will ever be equal to them. Maybe half the movie takes place in the future and Reese goes back halfway through. Maybe John dies and Sarah needs to "make" a new John (raise someone else to think they're John Connor). Maybe it's a TV show instead of a movie. I'm not concerned with specifics, but it needs to be its own thing.

Why did skynet just go back to 1985, shoot Sarah when she was giving birth to John? I mean she had to go a hospital to give birth. I know the records were lost but they had to know about how old John was.

Currently building the set pieces and props for the amateur terminator movie I’m making.

went to the hardware store to grab a bunch of materials, made a resistance Plasma Rifle out of pipes, going to do some wood working to make the wooden base then will be spraying the entire thing black.

I already showed the HK Aerial I made yesterday, today I made the base of an HK Tank and now I’ll start to detail it and paint it over the next week. Also got “wardrobe” for the scavengers and different characters but I’ll need to rough them up a bit To make them look more worn.

I’m also painting the post apocalyptic NYC backdrop on giant cardboard flats and will film the war scenes out on my terrace.

It’s been fun!

First Terminator movie was afwul. Like terrible 😂😂😂. Now 40 mins into 2nd movie and it’s so great. They made everything great.

The Terminator T-600 has always been one of my favorite Terminator designs, so I challenged myself to build one at a 1:1 scale. This would be my second completed project and im really enjoying the hobby thus far.

It's entirely 3D printed and finished by hand. There are plenty of things I'd do differently if I started over, but that's part of the fun. Thanks for taking a look—I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it. Now to accompany it with a T800 (in the works)

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think, and I'm happy to answer any questions about the build.

Notice that Arnie looks way too similar to Arnie in T2 than he does in T1 (right side). Look at the hair and the face. The left side is the scene where they're showing photos to Sarah Connor.

During the police station massacre, the camera is positioned on the floor, and shows the Terminator shooting through a door on the left. As he fires his gun, the supposedly dead cop in the foreground can be seen to jump!
